Julie's Favorite Sports Movies: We’re celebrating Satellite Sisters Summer Sports Spectacular this week. Here’s Julie's list of favorite sports movies. A League of Their Own This is a Satellite Sister Solid Gold choice. This movie has everything: sisters, baseball, Geena Davis, Rosie O”Donnell, Madonna in center field, and Tom Hanks telling the players,” there’s no crying in baseball”. Bend It Like Beckham A wonderful coming of age/cultural assimilation/girl power story about Jess Bijam who wants to play soccer like her idol, David Beckham but struggles to respect her traditional Indian family values. And, hello, Keira Knightley plays Jess’s friend and David Beckham makes a cute cameo. Bull Durham It’s hard to pick my favorite baseball movie but the kitchen scene with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner makes Bull Durham my top pick. The movie is about baseball in a very deep way but also has breezy romantic comedy. Rocky I loved the original Rocky. It’s the ultimate underdog movie and has one of the best theme songs ever. Also, Talia Shire shines in the film. Hoop Dreams An excellent documentary following two young Chicago basketball prospects trying to use their athletic talents to get to a better life. The two stars face racism, poverty, injury and other roadblocks trying to make their dreams come true. The film left me in tears. Friday Night Lights Watch the original movie with clear eyes and a full heart. Before there was Kyle Chandler as Coach Eric Taylor, there was Billy Bob Thornton and Tim McGraw in a film that follows the coach and players of a high school football team in Odessa, Texas. As a transplant, I am beginning to appreciate what Friday night football means to Texas communities. The film is as much about Texas culture as it is about football. Bad News Bears Haven’t we all been on a team for work or play where you feel like a group of misfits or outcasts? This is a movie about kids who never expect to care about competing or winning. Tatum O’Neal is the 11-year old star pitcher. Walter Matthau as an alcoholic ex-baseball pitcher turned coach is perfect. The ending involves a championship game and a big celebration for the Bears. Liz's sport movie faves include Robert Redford in Downhill Racer and Bill Murray in Caddyshack! Plus Without Limits, a great T&F movie with Billy Crudup as Steve Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland as Coach Bill Bowerman Lian names the great cycling flick Breaking Away and The Cutting Edge, a skating rom-com that does the sport proud.

0:00.0	You're listening to Satellite Sisters. What's a Satellite Sister? The person you call
0:09.0	when the best thing in your life happens or the worst. The person that gets you up gets
0:13.1	you going and gets you through. And every once in a while changes your mind. This podcast
0:18.4	is part pep talk, part weekly check in. Like grabbing coffee with a friend. Thanks for
0:22.8	being here. Welcome to the Satellite Sisterhood.
0:29.3	You're listening to Satellite Sisters. We're so happy you're here with us today. I'm Lee
0:33.3	Indole and in Pasadena, California. I'm a podcaster. I'm a producer. I'm a novelist. And I'm
0:39.6	excited for our sports spectacular today. So our question of the day is what is your favorite
0:46.7	summertime sport? Julie, what do you say? Okay, that's easy. Marco Polo. Marco Polo. It is my
0:54.5	favorite summertime sport. It is fun times, whether you're eight or eighty, right? In the pool.
1:00.7	Oh my gosh. Is it funny when those people have their eyes closed and they're trying to find you
1:06.0	and they're saying Marco, you say polo or you go on your water. If you haven't done it recently,
1:12.6	take a plunge and get a group of people together. Marco Polo.
1:17.6	Good one, Joel, from Dallas, Texas, Julie Dullin with the Marco Polo entry. Unexpected. Liz,
1:22.6	how about you? Okay. Well, this is Liz. I'm in Bendoor again for the summer. And one of the things
1:28.9	I do in the summers when I'm in Bendo, at the big gorgeous outdoor pool, they have Juniper pool,
1:34.4	they have a water running classly in. But you're you're tethered to a lane line and you're running
1:41.6	running running with the tether. So especially for me, because I've got the issue with the lefty,
1:47.0	you know, my left leg and knee, not not perfect. Water running is the perfect summer sport for me.
1:52.8	You're outside. You're in the water. Not quite as much fun as Marco Polo. But I was going to say,
1:58.0	I think you probably could combine a nice game of Marco Polo with the running, the tethered running.
2:04.0	But, you know, it's up to you. Marco Polo, Julie, for that, that's even like the sound of fun.
